Chapter 1013: Battle Axe Attack
"Sit, Fuck..." The light spots on the radar disappeared one by one, and Miller cursed angrily.
What the hell is this pirate ship? It even has medium-range air defense missiles.
You are so good, Zeng Wangcai, you hollowed out the space on the ship, you don’t want anything else, and you just filled it with weapons, right?
Really willing to spend the money...
When Miller saw that all the harpoons were intercepted and none of them hit the target, he immediately realized that his previous judgment was wrong.
Zeng Wangcai might be afraid, but his decision to use pirates to fight was not a casual one. It was the result of a very far-reaching plan and thorough preparation.
Which Corsair has this configuration?
He wants to use pirates to take over the Southeast Asian countries. If he succeeds, we will have no place to stay here in the future.
Just as Miller was furious, Reyes gently reminded him, "General, our fighters are still there, but our missiles have been fired. What should we do next, continue to send fighters, or use Tomahawks?"
As Miller's confidant, Reyes is well aware of Miller's predicament and opportunities.
The final results of a fighter jet's Harpoon missile attack and a Tomahawk cruise missile attack are completely different. The former is more likely to damage the enemy ship, while the latter is more likely to sink the enemy ship.
Of these two results, the former is undoubtedly more favorable to Miller.
Everyone knows that Miller suffered a setback this time. Combined with the previous setbacks, if Miller cannot find a way to atone for his sins this time, his military career will be over, and he will most likely be used as a scapegoat and brought to a military court.
And that point of redemption is the weapons on the enemy ships.
Miller knew what Reyes was talking about, and said in a deep voice: "Order the second fighter squadron to attack, I don't believe it... Order all fighters to mount Harpoons!"
"This... is it, General!" Reyes was embarrassed, but he still followed the order.
Mounting all harpoons means there is no way to deal with danger, and the only means of defense is to run naked.
However, considering that the opponent was just a pirate ship without any air mobility, Reyes felt that there would be no problem in executing this order.
As a result, the first wave of Americans lost half of their squadron and returned, and the second wave of 26 fighter planes set off.
Things flying in the sky are faster than things swimming in the water.
Zeng Wangcai let a ship take the risk to approach and secretly launched a torpedo, but it was ultimately a waste of time.
The range of a torpedo is much shorter than that of a missile.
The YJ18 that was covering the torpedoes also failed and was blocked by the aircraft carrier's frigates. Only one torpedo hit one frigate.
Judging from this result, Zeng Wangcai believes that it is not that the YJ18 is not strong enough, but that the Americans do have some capabilities.
Moreover, the number of missiles in previous attacks was small.
"Fusheng, we still have to fight." Zeng Wangcai contacted Lin Fusheng, "Otherwise, I won't give up. Think about it and focus on torpedoes. Of course, on the surface, we still need 18 to cooperate."
"I understand. Attack from above and steal from below. But big brother..." Lin Fusheng said with some difficulty, "distance is very sensitive. The range of the torpedo is too short. If you get close, the harpoon will exceed the saturation attack."
"I almost forgot about this. Forget it, you should just follow the original plan and stop firing torpedoes." Zeng Wangcai said and ended the communication.
After this round of confrontation, Zeng Wangcai discovered that it was indeed not easy to threaten a heavily protected aircraft carrier, even with later weapons.
But the situation has become like this, he really won't be willing to not fight.
The situations on both sides are actually the same now. Miller wants to use the pirate bureau set up by Zeng Wangcai to seize Zeng Wangcai's weapons in a fair and open way, even if it is just a radar or something.
Anyway, you said it was pirates, so you have nothing to say if it was lost, right?
The same goes for Zeng Wangcai. The Seventh Fleet was beaten and the aircraft carrier was bombed. It was pirates who did it. Even though all of you know that I supported the pirates, so what?
“Maybe I have to do it myself…” Since he couldn’t use himself for the time being, Zeng Wangcai’s mind was immersed in space.
Excluding missiles, the most effective sneak attack weapon to attack an aircraft carrier and cause great damage to it is a torpedo, which is launched directly from the water.
It seems that only submarines can meet this condition.
Zeng Wangcai placed an order for submarines on his computer, and the result was...
Submarines are even more difficult to make than aircraft carriers. They are very mysterious. The result of placing an order is not that there is no result, but that it takes too long.
Zeng Wangcai modified the order conditions, not wanting the most advanced 096 or something like that, but the result was still the same.
Well, the submarine route is no longer feasible.
Zeng Wangcai scratched his head and thought hard. He changed his thinking. It's not only submarines that can launch torpedoes. Aircraft and ships can also do it. Submarines were chosen because of their concealment.
But the stealth of submarines can be replaced by other means.
Following this line of thought, Zeng Wangcai remembered an old movie he had seen before, which told the story of a torpedo boat battle.
Torpedo boats, an equipment that was later eliminated, are actually still quite useful.
Zeng Wangcai entered "torpedo boat" on the order page, and a lot of related items popped up, with many models.
The first thing that Zeng Wangcai took a fancy to was an antique, the Type 123 torpedo boat, which was imported from the Russians.
However, this antique hero has a fatal flaw for Zeng Wangcai. The type of torpedoes it launches does not meet Zeng Wangcai's needs.
Finally, Zeng Wangcai chose a Type 027 after careful consideration, but after some thought, he decided to switch to a Russian torpedo boat...
Zeng Wangcai decided to continue launching the fish demon spirit, but before that, he had to get within 50 kilometers of the American aircraft carrier, and it would be better to be closer.
There is no way. Torpedoes are very unpopular in later generations and are almost classified as cold weapons.
But the advantages of this thing are also very obvious. Once it is launched close to the target, it is almost impossible to interfere with it like a missile. Moreover, its power is enormous. One explosion will create a big hole. Even an aircraft carrier may be destroyed if hit head-on by a heavy torpedo.
After selecting the equipment and placing an order, Zeng Wangcai built a small speedboat that could get close to the American fleet to create space.
Then he notified Lin Fusheng to be on the lookout, stopped driving, boarded a speedboat, and quickly drove around to the back of the American fleet.
The boat is small and the target is small, but Zeng Wangcai still decided to dive into the water after reaching a certain distance and continue moving forward using underwater propulsion equipment, so that no one can discover him.
After surviving the last stretch, enter the space to debug the torpedo boat to the point where it can be launched directly, and then surface to steal a bargain.
Zeng Wangcai decided to fight and run away, and he didn't even want the torpedo boat.
Suddenly appearing could explain no one noticing it, but after launching a torpedo and attracting attention, how could it suddenly disappear?
So he had to use the Russians' equipment, so that even if he was caught in the end, it would have nothing to do with him.
Amid the roar of the speedboat's motor, Zeng Wangcai controlled the direction while holding his cell phone to receive updates on the battle situation on the other side of the battlefield.
Everything is normal and there is no need to resist attacks exceeding saturation, which proves that the air defense of the HQ series is as stable as an old dog.
After an unknown amount of time, Zeng Wangcai received an alert from Lin Fusheng: "The Americans launched a Tomahawk..."
The battle axe is coming, the real test is coming...
